The Fatherless Western Children series puts children at the center of four Western romance stories. Published in 2026, each book follows a child who needs a father and the couple who comes together to form a new family. The “A New Pa for…” title format signals the family-focused premise.

Tanner uses children as the catalyst for romance in these stories, creating situations where practical need for a family leads to unexpected love. The Western setting provides the frontier context where remarriage and blended families were common necessities.
